[Capstone-users] Capstone 2.-RC1 is out!

[Nguyen A. Q. <aq...@gm...>]

Hi,

We are pleased to announce the Release Candidate 1, version 2.0 of the
Capstone disassembly framework!

The source code tarball is available at:

http://capstone-engine.org/download/2.0/capstone-2.0-rc1.tar.gz

It is also tagged with tagname 2.0-rc1 in our Github at
https://github.com/aquynh/capstone

Please test and feed back.


Users are strongly recommended to move away from 1.0. Notable changes in
2.0 RC1 are:


- Library size is around 50% smaller.

- Framework is much faster now. For example, Python binding is 3 ~ 4 times
faster than in 1.0.

- New architecture:
PowerPC


- Update with new instructions & hardware mode for Arm, Arm64 &
Mips.


- Some critical bug fixes.

- Flexibility of choosing which architectures to be compiled in, so you can
tailor library to your need.

Note that this version has some important API changes, see:
https://github.com/aquynh/capstone/wiki/ChangeLog
Therefore, some (trivial) modification to your tools are needed to switch
from 1.0 to 2.0.

Thanks.
Quynh
